New Planes Arrive in Hong Kong.

Kwangsi is in line with other provinces of China, all of which are becoming increasingly air- minded, in its plans for air enter-

prises. At present its fighting

force is small, consisting of six pursuit ships, two scout planes, and six training craft. The com- mercial planes at the disposal of the Government have been in- creased. Two large passenger- carrying vessels arrived in Hong Kong recently and it is under
